Critics Reviews

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times But after a while, the preponderance of creepy teases - a freaky doll, a bloody ghost, a surly handyman, a chorus of whispery voices and more - makes this feel like a supernatural thriller that can't settle on how exactly it wants to scare the audience. Jun 7, 2019 Full Review Rex Reed Observer The Child Remains is typical of the kind of dumpster material we're getting these days at the movies. Rated: 0/4 Jun 7, 2019 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Rue Morgue Magazine There’s certainly an authority and dedication from both director and cast to the unholy mess of it all, but ultimately, The Child Remains is all sizzle, no (baby) steak. Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The film has some stunning shots and good performances that elevate it past something that could have been marked off as a "movie of the week" type of film. Rated: 3/5 Apr 12, 2020 Full Review Tracy Allen PopHorror.com Although the film had some faults, I thinkThe Child Remainsis a strong, inventive addition to the indie film genre. Rated: 5.5/10 Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Matt Donato Flickering Myth The Child Remains is an outrageous, messy amalgamation of genre tonality that is far more confounding than it is cleanly executed. Rated: 2/5 Jun 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Destiny S The ending was horrible, the whole acting at the end was bad. Certain parts were okay but most was confusing with no context and boring. 0.5/10 don't recommend Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting is not as bad as some are making it out to be. It serves it purpose. The main issue is the writing and the characters, specially the main character who is an absolute pain all the way through. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review jeff l A good, interesting story,but it was more like a supernatural drama/ mystery than a horror movie. Nothing really scary. A little boring. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The entire movie looked cheap, was directed poorly and acted even worse. The movie has no scares and doesn't know how to scare its audience or even create and real sense of tension. I can take a low budget horror but this was awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It was like a trainwreck, but I was entertained nonetheless. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is very suspenseful! The rating is low but shouldn't be! I don't believe in spoilers so I won't write specifics about the movie! However, if your looking for a movie that gets you on the edge of your seat, while having you want to rock back in forth trying to figure out the twists, this is the movie for you! Well worth it! Stephen King has done it again! Did I mention it's based on true facts which is such a mind f@$k in itself! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
